﻿Data Codebook for OkinyiEtAlChildCaseControlPublicData.csv

produced January 23, 2009

This public release data file excludes variables (such as demographics) that 
would increase the chances that the individuals involved could be identified.  
Values on some variables, such as those related to ages, dates, and durations, 
have been modified from the original (usually through some sort of rounding), 
again to preserve anonymity.  Variables on which all children had the same 
values, such as exposures that were not reported for any child, are excluded 
from this data file.  For more information on these variables, consult the 
following article: Okinyi M, Brewer DD, Potterat JJ. Horizontally acquired HIV 
infection in Kenyan and Swazi children. International Journal of STD & AIDS 
2009;20:852-857.
